Answer 5

@khaykhay

Answer 6

look at the graph

Answer 7

also can you fan me and give me a medal

Answer 8

ok thank you

Answer 9

shortest wavelength would be gamma ray but highest energy photons? cus theres an inverse relationship between wavelength and energy of photons

Answer 10

@jessyv

\(E=hf=h{\dfrac c \lambda}\) where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength. So the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. There is no inconsistency.

Answer 11

@roadjester i see, thanks!
